Spring Is Coming!!! The bottom two ponds are mostly all covered in ice but take a look under the water! The only thing growing right now well under the ice is algae but the fish are all very much alive and well!! One red 1500 watt heater seems to be doing the trick so far even with the extra new upper pond that is five feet deep.... ps... must clean the underwater filter as soon as the weather is warmer.

To you too Figgy!!!
ARG.............
I seems to lost 4 of my fish. 1 sarasa and 3 watonai. I'm guessing bird of prey... I'm going to have to put some string up and put some crate in for them to hide in. My pond is pretty plain right now.. sigh.....

Awww sorry Nepen. I'm dreading if the Heron's ever find mine.
Thanks 
I dont think it's heron at my pond... I've seen hawk though. It's gone during winter so my thinking is it's a bird that just fly in a swoop down to get the fish because with no floating plants, the fish are pretty expose. I thought with winter they would be hibernating at the bottom but seems the warm weather made them pretty active and come up to the surface. I'm putting the string up tomorrow.

Temps highs in the 30's and 40's lows in 30's and 20's for the next 10 days, Snow here and there. We continue on with our perfectly average winter.

The sun was shining nicely yesterday. Here's a view from our deck. The winter grey skies and rain have since returned, so we appreciate the intermittent sunny days that much more.
This was at Christmas
Yea, moving from old house to new house. I pulled liner over Christmas break.

I got a much needed new computer desk. Put it by my window that looks out over the pond

pond yesterday after our snow and an hour later gone .Prospecting in West Virginia was fun with a friend on his 300 acres .A few of my finds and the rest are being cut .Plus got to pan for gold and got 6 ounces .Last time I got to do this was back in PA when I was 16 and used to do it every year from the age of 5 .I left some for him to polish and cut to give to my sons .
